The conference room fell silent again.
No one could have expected Zhu Yu to say such a thing at this time, so they all shut their mouths and turned their eyes over.
Zhu Xiang frowned slightly, and with a fake smile, he reprimanded Zhu Yu: "Seventh Brother, it's already this time, can you stop being so inflexible?"
"As a member of the Zhu family, you must abide by the rules of the Zhu family..."
Zhu Xiang was somewhat helpless at what the stubborn Zhu Yu said, and there was some anger in his voice: "The person who made the rules is gone."
Zhu Yu was about to speak when Zhu Mo stopped him.
Ignoring Zhu Yu, Zhu Mo put his elbows on the table and propped his cheek with one hand, and said coldly to Zhu Si beside him: "Hurry up and start, Fourth Uncle."
Zhu Si was stunned at first, but after he reacted, he nodded repeatedly, cleared his throat and said, "Then the fifth family meeting of this year officially begins."
He glanced at Zhu Qing's empty seat and said, "This meeting has only one purpose, which is to select the next head of the Zhu family.
Since candidate Zhu Qing's absence will be considered as abstention, do you have any objection?"
Zhu Sixiang raised his eyes to look at everyone present and asked again: "No objection, right? Then I will continue..."
Although many people present were very dissatisfied, they dared not sing a different tune.
Look at the atmosphere in this conference room!
Mo Wei and his fellows are all standing around, eyeing us covetously.
You have to know that these guys just came here after killing someone. If they dare to vote randomly, they probably won’t be able to leave the meeting room today.
At this moment, the top leaders of the Zhu family had the illusion that they were facing Zhu Min when facing Zhu Mo.
Especially the old man who followed Zhu Min back then. The majestic and breathtaking aura of Zhu Mo was exactly the same as Zhu Min's.
"Then there are three candidates left, Zhu Mo, Zhu Wan, and Zhu Chi..."
Zhu Mo held his chin with one hand and tapped the table impatiently with the other hand, making a tat tat sound.
Zhu Si understood that Zhu Mo thought he was being too long-winded, so he simply omitted what he was going to say next.
"Then let's start voting. First of all... please raise your hands if you support Zhu Chi to be elected as the head of the family."
When they heard Zhu Chi's name, everyone looked at each other, and after a few seconds no one raised their hand.
Those who had been on Zhu Chi's side for many years did not dare to look at Zhu Chi at this moment. They scratched their heads and did not dare to vote.
Zhu Chi simply closed his eyes and clasped his hands across his chest, acting as if he couldn't see anything.
"Okay, let's move on to the next one. Those who support Zhu Wan's election as the head of the family, please raise your hands."
No one, including his three sons Zhu Wan, has any good feelings towards Zhu Min.
He only had three precious grandsons, and all of them were killed by the two of them. How could he forget such a deep hatred?
Some distant relatives who were once disliked by Zhu Min and driven out of Tianjing City raised their hands and voted for Zhu Wan.
For them, Zhu Wan is their backbone. Whether they can gain a foothold in the Zhu family depends entirely on this old man in his seventies.
Zhu Si pretended to count the votes, then took a pen and wrote down the number of votes on the paper under his hand.
Then he immediately straightened up and said, "Finally, please raise your hands if you agree that Zhu Mo should be elected as the next patriarch."
Before he finished speaking, Zhu Si had already raised his hand high.
Most people were waiting for this moment, except for the two or three people who voted for Zhu Wan, who all raised their hands.
Zhu Chi pondered for a moment and then reluctantly raised his hand, but his slender eyes were full of reluctance.
Zhu Si nodded, stood up and announced solemnly: "The voting is over, I will announce the voting results."
"Zhu Chi voted 0, Zhu Wan voted 4, and Zhu Mo voted 36."
Upon hearing that he did not get a single vote, Zhu Chi's face immediately turned as cold as ice, and his pair of thin long eyebrows were tightly furrowed together, showing that he was very unhappy.
"I declare that Zhu Mo will be the new head of the Zhu family." Zhu Si shouted excitedly.
Following Zhu Si's announcement, old man Zhu Wan instantly aged by ten years. His face turned pale and all the wrinkles on his face were twisted into a ball.
He bit his lips which were as dry as tree bark, clenched his fists and stared at Zhu Mo.
He is not a complete fool. He knows that after Zhu Mo becomes the head of the family, he will most likely settle accounts with these distant relatives who have just taken the opportunity to intrude into the Zhu family's upper echelons.
"Humph, there's a long way to go, kid!"
"Let's wait and see. I don't believe you dare to raise the butcher knife. I don't think you have the courage."
After whispering to himself, Zhu Wan left tremblingly, leaning on a crutch, supported by two senior executives who were standing on the same line with him.
The back figure looked as miserable as a dog that had lost its home.
But no one present cared about their departure. Instead, they all stood up from their seats and applauded.
Thunderous applause echoed throughout the conference room.
Everyone began to congratulate the new head of the family.
At this moment, they all forgot that the new head of the family was just a marginal person with no sense of existence when he came to the Zhu family a few years ago.
"Xiao Mo, since you have become the head of the family, the Jingwei group will be handed over to you from now on." Zhu Yu said with a smile.
Zhu Mo smiled in response: "Thank you for your hard work during this period, Uncle Qi. After all, I am young and I just took over as the head of the family, so I need more help from Uncle Qi."
The old-timers around certainly understood what Zhu Mo meant. He wanted to learn from his biological father Zhu Min and use Zhu Yu as a gun.
Number 10 in the Jingwei group was also very happy. He kept saying in his heart: "May the devil bless you..."
Zhu Chi forced a smile on his face and stepped forward to congratulate: "Brother, congratulations. Well... I'll be leaving first."
Afraid that he could not keep a straight face, Zhu Chi immediately turned around and wanted to leave.
When he was about to reach the door, Zhu Mo's gentle voice sounded behind him: "Second brother, come to my house in a couple of days to have dinner together after a long absence."
Zhu Chi nodded slowly in response and then walked away.
